RAID

We took the EQ4 server. Initially, it was planned to put Debian there, but then the requirements changed and now, oh horror, you have to install windows.

Belatedly, we decided to install an additional “2-Port Hardware RAID-Controller”, and buy windows from hetzner.

The main question is, how is RAID-1 built?

Should I ask the Germans themselves to do this when requesting a RAID installation?

Or maybe you need to use the rescue mode. There are some examples in the wiki for linux, but we will have windows.

Or do I need to order LARA from them?

Does anyone have experience on this. I would be very grateful for the information.

in DC 10 and below KVM is free for 2 hours. Configure what you want yourself.

On another forum, when writing a ticket, it was advised to ask that, before installing Windows, configure a hardware raid as a mirror and then install windows.
You can also configure it via Rescue.
Here is some information on this.

Most likely I will do just that.
